Two Thumbs Up

See a movie.

You need to unlock the movie theater. It is unlocked either by completing the Community Center or all community upgrades offered by Morris.

If players choose to restore the Community Center, the night before the first rainy or stormy day after restoring the Center, there is a cutscene of a lightning bolt striking the doors to the abandoned JojaMart. Afterwards, the player may enter the abandoned JojaMart and find the Missing Bundle.

in this case you need to bring in bungle 5 of the 6 following items:

Silver or better quality Wine (any)
Dinosaur Mayonnaise
Prismatic Shard
5 gold quality Ancient Fruits
Gold or Iridium quality Void Salmon
Caviar

If players choose the Joja route, they can purchase the Movie Theater from Morris for 500,000g after completing all other community upgrades. The Joja Warehouse will then become a Movie Theater.

Blue Ribbon

Get 1st place in the Stardew Valley Fair competition.

To get first place you require 90 points.

We have 14 base points at start.

Then, points based on how many items are submitted, according to the formula: 2x-9 (Where x is the number of items on display). It is always better to try and fill all nine spots, even if the items submitted are uncategorized, since leaving any spot empty will lessen the overall score.

There are eight categories of items recognized by the Fair: Animal Products, Artisan Goods, Cooking, Fish, Foraging (including Flowers and Tree Saps), Fruits, Minerals, and Vegetables. Each category represented in the display earns 5 points, up to a maximum of 30 points. This means only six of these categories need to be filled to maximize the score.

If all these conditions are met, then we will only need 37 points (eight 4-point items and one 5-point item). Try to find the best item of each category and don’t forget to bring 9 items (even uncategorised) to the Fair and you’ll easily get this achievement.

Good Neighbors

Help your forest neighbors grow their family.

The Big Tree is in Cindersap Forest, the region south of your farm, just before the entrance to the Secret Forest. Once you go south from your farm to the forest, you’ll spot it to your left inside the fenced-in area.

However, you can’t do anything with its initial tree form. Instead, you can only interact with the Big Tree after encountering the “strong wind storm” event at night, after falling asleep. This night event causes the tree to fall and produce a large stump. You’ll know it’s ready when you find a question mark icon on the stump, indicating you can start its quest line.

Once you interact with the stump following the strong winds dialogue, you’ll gain “The Giant Stump” quest, which asks you to get 100 hardwood.

After that you’ll need to complete all their quests to get an achievement.

Danger In The Deep

Reach the bottom of the ‘dangerous’ mines.

The mines can be made dangerous in one of two ways. One is through the “Danger In The Deep” quest in Qi’s Walnut Room, and the other is using the Shrine of Challenge. But The Shrine of Challenge is unlocked after completing the “Danger In The Deep” quest.

The Walnut Room is located on the West side of Ginger Island. It can be opened once the player obtains a total of 100 golden walnuts.

Ginger Island is unlocked after completing the Community center and repairing the boat. To repair it, the player must provide:

200 Hardwood for the hull
5 Iridium Bars for the anchor
5 Battery Packs for the ticket stand

Infinite Power

Obtain the most powerful weapon.

The most powerful weapon in the game is Infinity Blade. It can be obtained by combining the Galaxy Sword with 3 Galaxy Souls and 60 Cinder Shards in the Forge on top of the Volcano on Ginger Island.

The Galaxy Sword can be obtained by taking a Prismatic Shard to the Three Pillars in the Calico Desert. While holding the shard, enter the centermost tile between the three pillars.

Ways to get the Galaxy Soul:

Galaxy Souls can be purchased at Qi’s Walnut Room for Qi Gems 40.
After killing at least 50 Dangerous Monsters, Galaxy Souls can also be purchased from Island Trader on the last day of a season for 10 Radioactive Bars.
After killing at least 50 Dangerous Monsters, Galaxy Souls can also be acquired as an enemy drop in the “Dangerous” Mines unlocked by Mr. Qi’s Danger in the Deep quest, or in the Skull Cavern during Mr. Qi’s Skull Cavern Invasion.
Semi-transparent Big Slimes containing a Galaxy Soul can be seen in the “Dangerous” Mines unlocked by Mr. Qi’s Danger in the Deep quest, or in the Skull Cavern during Mr. Qi’s Skull Cavern Invasion. The Galaxy Soul is dropped upon killing the Big Slime.
